Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focusses on the role of clean technologies in advancing sustainability in urban environments, corporate practices, and consumer lifestyles. Global challenges such as climate change and resource depletion have created the need for innovative technologies and solutions that reduce environmental footprints, such as renewable energy, energy-efficient systems, circular manufacturing, remanufacturing, and sustainable mobility. In cities, smart technologies, green infrastructure, and low-carbon transportation are transforming urban sustainability. In addition, companies are adopting circular economy principles, eco-friendly production methods, remanufacturing, and carbon-neutral strategies to enhance their corporate responsibility. Consumers are creating demand for sustainable products and services through conscious consumption and digital engagement. This Special Issue presents state-of-the-art research, case studies, and policy insights that highlight how clean technology is redefining industries and everyday life. By fostering interdisciplinary dialog, it aims to promote scalable, technology-driven sustainability solutions for a more sustainable future.
